But this is Amazon we're talking about, the company that wouldn't sell Chromecasts, so I'm not betting against you.

I based my statement on some of the podcasts and reviews I watched wherein those guys were present at Amazon's unveiling of the Cube and initial demonstration thereof. You can probably expect issues with Youtube for example since Amazon and Youtube are not cooperating with one another. It would make since if Amazon didn't want to support competitor boxes like Roku, though I wish they would. I actually like my Roku much better than my Fire TV. Apple TV blows chunks so I could care less if they support it, but some will like that support.
ETA: I think Amazon could easily block device codes of Rokus and other devices. That would be relatively easy to program into the FW. I hope they don't, but they could.
